Title: 100 stones, 100 books
Post by: Hogman on August 15, 2017, 05:21:02 pm
I'm sad enough to keep a list of every fantasy book I've ever attempted to read, together with ratings for each and every one. It wasn't until I finished it that I realised The Unholy Consult is exactly number 100! It also takes the crown as the best book I've ever read.

Just thought I'd share that.  :)

That is quite interesting, Hogman.

Cool. :D

And that's not sad at all, I keep lists of all books and comics I read throughout the year since 2014. No ratings though, I might be too lazy for that.

I wish I could create such a list, but alas, the amount of fantasy books I've read can nearly be counted on one hand.

I have such a list as well, though I only started it within the last few years.

Sometimes, the world conspires Hogman. Cool stuff.

The trick is to do it as you go. Though, all ratings are relative to the time and headspace you read them, so its all BS anyway right? Each book you read affects each future book, and looking back that book you rated 4 of 5 stars now may read like a 2 star ;) . A simple 'go / no-go' system would serve the same purpose lol.

I also have taken to writing a sentence or two about each as I finish and give it a rating - what I liked or didn't like and why. For the posterity of Future Wilshire.

Some people do all this online at Goodreads and make it a social event. I just have a spreadsheet :) .
